Return of Stridhan to wife in CAW


19-Mar-2023 (In Criminal Law)
My wife has filed a complaint of dowry and Dv in CAW and DV case in court in dec 2018. Dowry is absolutely false claim. She took away all her items except few jewelry in nov 2018. Now she has submitted an false and exaggerated stridhan list in CAW. However i am trying to reconcile my marriage. I haven't received the copy of CAW complaint yet while DV case summon is received. Also she has not made demand of stridhan before. In DV case also she has demanded return of Stridhan and cash. Please tell me how to return her real stridhan items which she left intentionally in order to avoid 406 as there was no intention to retain those items nor i came to know about her demand untill she submitted in caw cell. Please tell me whether i can be charged under 406 if complaint is fwd to PS, given that i have unintentionally kept lying her items in almirah and also i had no knowledge of her demand untill she provided me a list in CAW. pl guide what remedy i can take.

Hi, if the investigation has not been completed by Police, you will be called by the concerned Investigating OFficer for the statement in this case where your wife has filed this case. Further, you will definitely get notices for the respective hearings.

The intricacies of every case requires to be dealt accordingly.
You may show your bonafide by either stating in the court to return all her streedhan or you may also send a notice to her asking her to take the streedhan from your place or to schedule a time whereby you may transfer all her streedhan.

But most importantly, don’t be scared of being implicated with the charges. You may show your bonafide even before the court or the CAW. With regards to exaggerated stridhan, one can only defend. But do remember to not settle down for any mediocre lawyer because courts are mostly women oriented. (That’s my opinion)
